The Maine Brewers' Guild plans to refurbish a refrigerated shipping container into the "Maine Beer Box." It will have 50 taps and will make its first trip as the "ambassador for Maine beer" in June, heading to a beer festival in Reykjavik, Iceland.

The Maine Beer Box is a project from marine shipping company Eimskip and the Maine Brewer’s Guild. In March, the Box was sent on a refrigerated cargo container full of Maine craft beers, with over 50 taps on the outside.
